Manage episode 428038141 series 2855713
Can a masked vigilante inspire a revolution? Find out as we dissect the 2005 dystopian thriller "V for Vendetta" in our latest episode. This discussion takes on special significance as Katy dedicates it to her late friend Greg, a fervent admirer of the film. We cover the intricate relationship between V, portrayed by Hugo Weaving, and Evey, brought to life by Natalie Portman. From thought-provoking themes of anarchy and resistance to the poetic and memorable dialogue, we unpack what makes this film resonate, even as V’s true face remains hidden.
After giving our honest ratings and critiques, including a mutual score of four out of six, we explore the movie's chaotic plot and some frustrating character developments while appreciating the powerful performances and well-executed action scenes. We also touch on the distinctive Wachowski flair that echoes their work in "The Matrix." Don't miss our teaser for next week's episode where we dive into the suspenseful world of Hitchcock's "Dial M for Murder." And of course, Katy wraps up with a heartfelt nod to that unforgettable line: "Remember, remember the 5th of November".
